How do you find the right table frame?

Rocholz offers you Europe's largest range of table frames to choose from. Each table frame is optimised for a specific application. Typical areas of use include catering, canteens, contract furnishing, shop fitting, etc. The requirements for the table frames can vary greatly in each area. The shape of the table top or the place of use (e.g. indoor/outdoor) are just two examples of factors that have a key influence on the choice of table frame.

The first question for you is which of the table frames is the best for your project. Due to the wide range of possible applications, the size of the range is also enormous. How do you find out exactly which table frame you need for your project?

Of course, it is always better to ask an expert if you are unsure. Nevertheless, Rocholz would like to give you a few options to help you get an idea in advance of which table frames are suitable for your requirements. To help you find the perfect base for your dream table, we offer you a selection guide here.

What are the decisive factors?

The choice of table frame depends on a variety of factors. These include, for example, the size of the table top and whether the table frame is height-adjustable. The choice of different materials also allows for versatility. Table frames made of metal (e.g. steel/stainless steel) are a popular design because they have a unique character.

There are numerous table frames that are suitable for a variety of purposes and requirements. Choosing the right construction depends on the type of project or use.

Use the table top as a guide when choosing the table frame

To select a suitable and stable table frame, you need to consider the size, weight and type of table top.

It is important that the frame adequately supports the entire table top and remains stable. This is the only way to prevent the table top from bending or wobbling. The size, material and weight of the table top have an enormous influence on the choice of the right table frame.

For example, lighter table tops made of MDF may require a less robust frame, while solid wood or stone table tops require a stronger and more stable frame.

The columns - what shape and how many?

The stability of the table frames is determined directly by the number of columns. Single-column tables can have good stability. However, they are not necessarily as robust as table frames with several columns or legs. To ensure stability and load-bearing capacity for larger or heavier table tops, it is advisable to choose a table frame with several columns.

However, table frames with a single column also have their advantages. It is possible to keep the area under the table free of interfering cross struts or table legs with a single central column.

Depending on the shape of the table column, this can have an effect on the height adjustability of the table. Some column shapes enable manual or electric height adjustment, which is simple and smooth. Single-column constructions can also be adjusted using a gas pressure spring. This is particularly important if a height-adjustable table is required to offer flexible positions for use.

The shape of the columns also influences the aesthetic appearance of the table. Table bases with multiple columns have a more classic and traditional look, while single column shapes can create a modern and sleek look. The design you choose depends on your personal preferences and the style you prefer for the table.

Which weight plate fits which table frame?

The choice of table frame is strongly influenced by the weight plate. It gives the table stability and sturdiness and influences the fastening options.

The stability and safety of the table is determined by the way in which the weight plate is attached to the floor. To anchor the frame firmly to the floor, certain weight plates may have pre-drilled holes or other fastening options. However, a heavy weight plate can often be sufficient to ensure that even a large table top stands securely.

The space required under the table is also determined by the size and shape of the weight plate. Here too, both should correspond to the later requirements. A weight plate that is too large can make it difficult to place chairs or other pieces of furniture.

Rocholz products score points with their high quality. The base plate clearly sets them apart from comparable products. The base plate is a combination of weight plate and cover plate.

Frame - struts for added stability

A frame is a table frame with several horizontal and vertical struts known as a "frame". The frames usually connect the table legs and run along the underside of the table. This results in a closed frame that increases the stability and load-bearing capacity of the table.

By connecting the table legs to each other, the frame forms a stable and firm framework. This reduces the likelihood of the table wobbling or tipping, especially when weight or pressure is exerted on the table top.

A frame can also prevent deflection of the table top, especially with larger table tops. The frames distribute the weight more evenly over the table legs, which ensures a better load-bearing capacity.

Thanks to its stability, the frame is characterised by its excellent durability. It offers plenty of legroom and impresses with its aesthetics and design.

The right desk frame for comfortable working

The desk frame is an important part of a desk and plays a key role in ensuring that the desk is functional, stable and ergonomic. Choosing the right desk frame is important in order to create a working environment that meets the individual needs of the user.

Rocholz desk frames are available in a variety of shapes, materials and designs to meet different requirements and preferences. Many are height-adjustable. The possible uses are just as varied. Whether in the office, in the home office or in educational institutions - the desk frame for the desk can be used anywhere.

The desk frame supports the weight of the desk top and the work materials on it, such as computers, documents and other work utensils. A stable and secure work surface is guaranteed by a robust frame.

Rocholz desk frames are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to suit individual requirements and room conditions. Their height adjustability allows users to adapt the desk to their ergonomic needs at any time.
